oops, here's the link: https://www.newyorker.com/video/watch/sparring-partner[/quote]

That was really good, thanks for sharing.[/quote]

I liked it too. Wish they were both married, though.[/quote]

Why what would be different ?[/quote]

Because of the power dynamics, he has a wife, and she's single; she wants to change the status quo more than he does. [/quote]

both married; same outcome[/quote]

Not necessarily, this is very similar to the friendship I have with my coworker. We are both married and neither looking to leave our family so we easily enjoy our time together.[/quote]

Right. In the movie she wants him to leave and be with her. When both EA partners are married, they rarely want such development. [/quote]

I think in OP’s case, don’t think plan of leaving family. Just that both hit it well but very mindful however risk of crossing the line is relatively high. One does not want unintended consequences. I will think need to reduce text late at night. Holding hands should be avoided. One can enjoy each other conmpany without going physical, though it can be hard to maintain control [/quote]

For sure there is no plan to leave family. Enjoying each other company is fine but hard to navigate the underlying tension hence have to be handled with care. In recent weeks, had a business trip together. We got into a service residence stay. She had a two bedroom apartment and mine a one bedroom apartment. She hinted that is OK to share room with a male friend if separate bed. She was referring to an upcoming wedding reception of a friend. I told her not sure that would be appropriate even if husband is being broad minded about this. She asked my view, I advised she should not push the envelope as perception can also be a reality even if nothing happens inside the bedroom. She then responded that she will adhere the advice and not pursue the option. Bizarre conversation though. [/quote]
